Re: lavasoft web companion

OK, this issue is known and will be fixed in the upcoming 7.1 version.

In the meantime, we can try to use AdwCleaner in Safe Mode. It works sometimes.

Here is how you can boot Windows 7 in Safe Mode : https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/force-windows-to-boot-into-safe-mode-without-using-the-f8-key/

Then, just launch AdwCleaner again and do a scan/clean.

Re: adwcleaner ne veut pas nettoyer

Bonjour,

Le logiciel a fini par passer. Il a fait son nettoyage.

It looks like the malicious URL doesn't download the file now, so i uploaded the file here.

After some investigation, it turned out that proxy settings have been manipula...

Required Registries Removed?

I recently did scans that removed the listed registry files. Will this cause problems, or are they safe to remove?

Re: Major difficulties with AdwCleaner v. 7.0.3.1

This is the only log available that says clean. This was done when he removed ALL check marks from all items found. Otherwise, when he removed check marks only from the registiry section the program did not go through with clean it just shut down. .

Hello,

This time he hit clean and the program closed, the computer shut down but when it rebooted it had not cleaned anything.

Try to uncheck every registry element detected before pushing the Clean button. Then, it should work as expected.

It did not work. He tried in both normal mode, and received the message that "AdwCleaner stopped working" as soon as he hit clean. S...

Major difficulties with AdwCleaner v. 7.0.3.1

I am helping a friend clean a grossly infected computer. Windows 10. Uses McAfee AV.

He ran Malwarebytes 3 without difficulty and it cleaned with no problem at all. I do have the log if needed but cannot find a way to attach the text file

He then attempted to use AdwCleaner v. 7.0.3.1 but it would not complete cleaning and received a box with notification that a problem had stopped the clean....

Re: AdwCleaner 7.0.3.1 has stopped woring

Greetings,

Sorry for the late answer.

Try to uncheck every registry element detected before pushing the Clean button. Then, it should work as expected.

This issue is known and will be resolved with the release of the 7.1 version.

Regards.
